PARIS, June 8 (Xinhua) — French President Emmanuel Macron will make an official visit to Greenland on June 15, French newspaper Le Monde reported on Saturday, citing a source in the French presidential administration.
At the invitation of Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen, Macron will become the first foreign head of state to visit Greenland since US President Donald Trump’s threats of annexation, Le Monde reports.
The three leaders will hold talks on security in the North Atlantic and the Arctic, as well as climate change, the energy transition and the supply of critical minerals, the Elysee Palace said.
This visit is aimed at “strengthening cooperation with Greenland in these areas and contributing to the strengthening of European sovereignty,” Le Monde notes, citing a source in the Elysee Palace.
D. Trump has repeatedly expressed a desire to acquire Greenland, which has a strategic location and is rich in resources. –0–
